37
+ <p>"To the man who loves art for its own sake," remarked Sherlock
38
+ Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of the Daily
39
+ Telegraph, "it is frequently in its least important and lowliest
40
+ manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived. It is
41
+ pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped
42
+ this truth that in these little records of our cases which you
43
+ have been good enough to draw up, and, I am bound to say,
44
+ occasionally to embellish, you have given prominence not so much
45
+ to the many causes célèbres and sensational trials in which I
46
+ have figured but rather to those incidents which may have been
47
+ trivial in themselves, but which have given room for those
48
+ faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made
49
+ my special province."</p>
50
+ <p>"And yet," said I, smiling, "I cannot quite hold myself absolved
51
+ from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my
52
+ records."</p>
53
+ <p>"You have erred, perhaps," he observed, taking up a glowing
54
+ cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood
55
+ pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a
56
+ disputatious rather than a meditative mood--"you have erred
57
+ perhaps in attempting to put colour and life into each of your
58
+ statements instead of confining yourself to the task of placing
59
+ upon record that severe reasoning from cause to effect which is
60
+ really the only notable feature about the thing."</p>
61
+ <p>"It seems to me that I have done you full justice in the matter,"
62
+ I remarked with some coldness, for I was repelled by the egotism
63
+ which I had more than once observed to be a strong factor in my
64
+ friend’s singular character.</p>
65
+ <p>"No, it is not selfishness or conceit," said he, answering, as
66
+ was his wont, my thoughts rather than my words. "If I claim full
67
+ justice for my art, it is because it is an impersonal thing—a
68
+ thing beyond myself. Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it
69
+ is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should
70
+ dwell. You have degraded what should have been a course of
71
+ lectures into a series of tales."</p>
72
+ <p>It was a cold morning of the early spring, and we sat after
73
+ breakfast on either side of a cheery fire in the old room at
74
+ Baker Street. A thick fog rolled down between the lines of
75
+ dun-coloured houses, and the opposing windows loomed like dark,
76
+ shapeless blurs through the heavy yellow wreaths. Our gas was lit
77
+ and shone on the white cloth and glimmer of china and metal, for
78
+ the table had not been cleared yet. Sherlock Holmes had been
79
+ silent all the morning, dipping continuously into the
80
+ advertisement columns of a succession of papers until at last,
81
+ having apparently given up his search, he had emerged in no very
82
+ sweet temper to lecture me upon my literary shortcomings.</p>
83
+ <p>"At the same time," he remarked after a pause, during which he
84
+ had sat puffing at his long pipe and gazing down into the fire,
85
+ "you can hardly be open to a charge of sensationalism, for out of
86
+ these cases which you have been so kind as to interest yourself
87
+ in, a fair proportion do not treat of crime, in its legal sense,
88
+ at all. The small matter in which I endeavoured to help the King
89
+ of Bohemia, the singular experience of Miss Mary Sutherland, the
90
+ problem connected with the man with the twisted lip, and the
91
+ incident of the noble bachelor, were all matters which are
92
+ outside the pale of the law. But in avoiding the sensational, I
93
+ fear that you may have bordered on the trivial."</p>
94
+ <p>"The end may have been so," I answered, "but the methods I hold
95
+ to have been novel and of interest."</p>
96
+ <p>"Pshaw, my dear fellow, what do the public, the great unobservant
97
+ public, who could hardly tell a weaver by his tooth or a
98
+ compositor by his left thumb, care about the finer shades of
99
+ analysis and deduction! But, indeed, if you are trivial. I cannot
100
+ blame you, for the days of the great cases are past. Man, or at
101
+ least criminal man, has lost all enterprise and originality. As
102
+ to my own little practice, it seems to be degenerating into an
103
+ agency for recovering lost lead pencils and giving advice to
104
+ young ladies from boarding-schools. I think that I have touched
105
+ bottom at last, however. This note I had this morning marks my
106
+ zero-point, I fancy. Read it!" He tossed a crumpled letter across
107
+ to me.</p>
108
+ <p>It was dated from Montague Place upon the preceding evening, and
109
+ ran thus:</p>
110
+ <p>"DEAR MR. HOLMES:--I am very anxious to consult you as to whether
111
+ I should or should not accept a situation which has been offered
112
+ to me as governess. I shall call at half-past ten to-morrow if I
113
+ do not inconvenience you. Yours faithfully,
114
+ "VIOLET HUNTER."</p>
115
+ <p>"Do you know the young lady?" I asked.</p>
116
+ <p>"Not I."</p>
117
+ <p>"It is half-past ten now."</p>
118
+ <p>"Yes, and I have no doubt that is her ring."</p>
119
+ <p>"It may turn out to be of more interest than you think. You
120
+ remember that the affair of the blue carbuncle, which appeared to
121
+ be a mere whim at first, developed into a serious investigation.
122
+ It may be so in this case, also."</p>
123
+ <p>"Well, let us hope so. But our doubts will very soon be solved,
124
+ for here, unless I am much mistaken, is the person in question."</p>
125
+ <p>As he spoke the door opened and a young lady entered the room.
126
+ She was plainly but neatly dressed, with a bright, quick face,
127
+ freckled like a plover’s egg, and with the brisk manner of a
128
+ woman who has had her own way to make in the world.</p>
129
+ <p>"You will excuse my troubling you, I am sure," said she, as my
130
+ companion rose to greet her, "but I have had a very strange
131
+ experience, and as I have no parents or relations of any sort
132
+ from whom I could ask advice, I thought that perhaps you would be
133
+ kind enough to tell me what I should do."</p>
134
+ <p>"Pray take a seat, Miss Hunter. I shall be happy to do anything
135
+ that I can to serve you."</p>
136
+ <p>I could see that Holmes was favourably impressed by the manner
137
+ and speech of his new client. He looked her over in his searching
138
+ fashion, and then composed himself, with his lids drooping and
139
+ his finger-tips together, to listen to her story.</p>
140
+ <p>"I have been a governess for five years," said she, "in the
141
+ family of Colonel Spence Munro, but two months ago the colonel
142
+ received an appointment at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and took his
143
+ children over to America with him, so that I found myself without
144
+ a situation. I advertised, and I answered advertisements, but
145
+ without success. At last the little money which I had saved began
146
+ to run short, and I was at my wit’s end as to what I should do.</p>
147
+ <p>"There is a well-known agency for governesses in the West End
148
+ called Westaway’s, and there I used to call about once a week in
149
+ order to see whether anything had turned up which might suit me.
150
+ Westaway was the name of the founder of the business, but it is
151
+ really managed by Miss Stoper. She sits in her own little office,
152
+ and the ladies who are seeking employment wait in an anteroom,
153
+ and are then shown in one by one, when she consults her ledgers
154
+ and sees whether she has anything which would suit them.</p>
155
+ <p>"Well, when I called last week I was shown into the little office
156
+ as usual, but I found that Miss Stoper was not alone. A
157
+ prodigiously stout man with a very smiling face and a great heavy
158
+ chin which rolled down in fold upon fold over his throat sat at
159
+ her elbow with a pair of glasses on his nose, looking very
160
+ earnestly at the ladies who entered. As I came in he gave quite a
161
+ jump in his chair and turned quickly to Miss Stoper.</p>
162
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>That will do,</em></span> said he; <span class="emphasis"><em>I could not ask for anything better.
163
+ Capital! capital!</em></span> He seemed quite enthusiastic and rubbed his
164
+ hands together in the most genial fashion. He was such a
165
+ comfortable-looking man that it was quite a pleasure to look at
166
+ him.</p>
167
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>You are looking for a situation, miss?</em></span> he asked.</p>
168
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Yes, sir.</em></span></p>
169
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>As governess?</em></span></p>
170
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Yes, sir.</em></span></p>
171
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>And what salary do you ask?</em></span></p>
172
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I had 4 pounds a month in my last place with Colonel Spence
173
+ Munro.</em></span></p>
174
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Oh, tut, tut! sweating—rank sweating!</em></span> he cried, throwing his
175
+ fat hands out into the air like a man who is in a boiling
176
+ passion. <span class="emphasis"><em>How could anyone offer so pitiful a sum to a lady with
177
+ such attractions and accomplishments?</em></span></p>
178
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>My accomplishments, sir, may be less than you imagine,</em></span> said I.
179
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>A little French, a little German, music, and drawing--</em></span></p>
180
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Tut, tut!</em></span> he cried. <span class="emphasis"><em>This is all quite beside the question.
181
+ The point is, have you or have you not the bearing and deportment
182
+ of a lady? There it is in a nutshell. If you have not, you are
183
+ not fitted for the rearing of a child who may some day play a
184
+ considerable part in the history of the country. But if you have
185
+ why, then, how could any gentleman ask you to condescend to
186
+ accept anything under the three figures? Your salary with me,
187
+ madam, would commence at 100 pounds a year.</em></span></p>
188
+ <p>"You may imagine, Mr. Holmes, that to me, destitute as I was,
189
+ such an offer seemed almost too good to be true. The gentleman,
190
+ however, seeing perhaps the look of incredulity upon my face,
191
+ opened a pocket-book and took out a note.</p>
192
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>It is also my custom,</em></span> said he, smiling in the most pleasant
193
+ fashion until his eyes were just two little shining slits amid
194
+ the white creases of his face, <span class="emphasis"><em>to advance to my young ladies
195
+ half their salary beforehand, so that they may meet any little
196
+ expenses of their journey and their wardrobe.</em></span></p>
197
+ <p>"It seemed to me that I had never met so fascinating and so
198
+ thoughtful a man. As I was already in debt to my tradesmen, the
199
+ advance was a great convenience, and yet there was something
200
+ unnatural about the whole transaction which made me wish to know
201
+ a little more before I quite committed myself.</p>
202
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>May I ask where you live, sir?</em></span> said I.</p>
203
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Hampshire. Charming rural place. The Copper Beeches, five miles
204
+ on the far side of Winchester. It is the most lovely country, my
205
+ dear young lady, and the dearest old country-house.</em></span></p>
206
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>And my duties, sir? I should be glad to know what they would
207
+ be.</em></span></p>
208
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>One child—one dear little romper just six years old. Oh, if
209
+ you could see him killing cockroaches with a slipper! Smack!
210
+ smack! smack! Three gone before you could wink!</em></span> He leaned back
211
+ in his chair and laughed his eyes into his head again.</p>
212
+ <p>"I was a little startled at the nature of the child’s amusement,
213
+ but the father’s laughter made me think that perhaps he was
214
+ joking.</p>
215
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>My sole duties, then,</em></span> I asked, <span class="emphasis"><em>are to take charge of a single
216
+ child?</em></span></p>
217
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No, no, not the sole, not the sole, my dear young lady,</em></span> he
218
+ cried. <span class="emphasis"><em>Your duty would be, as I am sure your good sense would
219
+ suggest, to obey any little commands my wife might give, provided
220
+ always that they were such commands as a lady might with
221
+ propriety obey. You see no difficulty, heh?</em></span></p>
222
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I should be happy to make myself useful.</em></span></p>
223
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Quite so. In dress now, for example. We are faddy people, you
224
+ know—faddy but kind-hearted. If you were asked to wear any dress
225
+ which we might give you, you would not object to our little whim.
226
+ Heh?</em></span></p>
227
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No,</em></span> said I, considerably astonished at his words.</p>
228
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Or to sit here, or sit there, that would not be offensive to
229

230
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Oh, no.</em></span></p>
231
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Or to cut your hair quite short before you come to us?</em></span></p>
232
+ <p>"I could hardly believe my ears. As you may observe, Mr. Holmes,
233
+ my hair is somewhat luxuriant, and of a rather peculiar tint of
234
+ chestnut. It has been considered artistic. I could not dream of
235
+ sacrificing it in this offhand fashion.</p>
236
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I am afraid that that is quite impossible,</em></span> said I. He had been
237
+ watching me eagerly out of his small eyes, and I could see a
238
+ shadow pass over his face as I spoke.</p>
239
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I am afraid that it is quite essential,</em></span> said he. <span class="emphasis"><em>It is a
240
+ little fancy of my wife’s, and ladies</em></span> fancies, you know, madam,
241
+ ladies' fancies must be consulted. And so you won’t cut your
242
+ hair?'</p>
243
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No, sir, I really could not,</em></span> I answered firmly.</p>
244
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Ah, very well; then that quite settles the matter. It is a
245
+ pity, because in other respects you would really have done very
246
+ nicely. In that case, Miss Stoper, I had best inspect a few more
247
+ of your young ladies.</em></span></p>
248
+ <p>"The manageress had sat all this while busy with her papers
249
+ without a word to either of us, but she glanced at me now with so
250
+ much annoyance upon her face that I could not help suspecting
251
+ that she had lost a handsome commission through my refusal.</p>
252
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Do you desire your name to be kept upon the books?</em></span> she asked.</p>
253
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>If you please, Miss Stoper.</em></span></p>
254
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Well, really, it seems rather useless, since you refuse the
255
+ most excellent offers in this fashion,</em></span> said she sharply. <span class="emphasis"><em>You
256
+ can hardly expect us to exert ourselves to find another such
257
+ opening for you. Good-day to you, Miss Hunter.</em></span> She struck a gong
258
+ upon the table, and I was shown out by the page.</p>
259
+ <p>"Well, Mr. Holmes, when I got back to my lodgings and found
260
+ little enough in the cupboard, and two or three bills upon the
261
+ table. I began to ask myself whether I had not done a very
262
+ foolish thing. After all, if these people had strange fads and
263
+ expected obedience on the most extraordinary matters, they were
264
+ at least ready to pay for their eccentricity. Very few
265
+ governesses in England are getting 100 pounds a year. Besides,
266
+ what use was my hair to me? Many people are improved by wearing
267
+ it short and perhaps I should be among the number. Next day I was
268
+ inclined to think that I had made a mistake, and by the day after
269
+ I was sure of it. I had almost overcome my pride so far as to go
270
+ back to the agency and inquire whether the place was still open
271
+ when I received this letter from the gentleman himself. I have it
272
+ here and I will read it to you:</p>
273
+ <pre class="literallayout"> "'The Copper Beeches, near Winchester.
274
+ "'DEAR MISS HUNTER:--Miss Stoper has very kindly given me your
275
+ address, and I write from here to ask you whether you have
276
+ reconsidered your decision. My wife is very anxious that you
277
+ should come, for she has been much attracted by my description of
278
+ you. We are willing to give 30 pounds a quarter, or 120 pounds a
279
+ year, so as to recompense you for any little inconvenience which
280
+ our fads may cause you. They are not very exacting, after all. My
281
+ wife is fond of a particular shade of electric blue and would
282
+ like you to wear such a dress indoors in the morning. You need
283
+ not, however, go to the expense of purchasing one, as we have one
284
+ belonging to my dear daughter Alice (now in Philadelphia), which
285
+ would, I should think, fit you very well. Then, as to sitting
286
+ here or there, or amusing yourself in any manner indicated, that
287
+ need cause you no inconvenience. As regards your hair, it is no
288
+ doubt a pity, especially as I could not help remarking its beauty
289
+ during our short interview, but I am afraid that I must remain
290
+ firm upon this point, and I only hope that the increased salary
291
+ may recompense you for the loss. Your duties, as far as the child
292
+ is concerned, are very light. Now do try to come, and I shall
293
+ meet you with the dog-cart at Winchester. Let me know your train.
294
+ Yours faithfully, JEPHRO RUCASTLE.'</pre>
295
+ <p>"That is the letter which I have just received, Mr. Holmes, and
296
+ my mind is made up that I will accept it. I thought, however,
297
+ that before taking the final step I should like to submit the
298
+ whole matter to your consideration."</p>
299
+ <p>"Well, Miss Hunter, if your mind is made up, that settles the
300
+ question," said Holmes, smiling.</p>
301
+ <p>"But you would not advise me to refuse?"</p>
302
+ <p>"I confess that it is not the situation which I should like to
303
+ see a sister of mine apply for."</p>
304
+ <p>"What is the meaning of it all, Mr. Holmes?"</p>
305
+ <p>"Ah, I have no data. I cannot tell. Perhaps you have yourself
306
+ formed some opinion?"</p>
307
+ <p>"Well, there seems to me to be only one possible solution. Mr.
308
+ Rucastle seemed to be a very kind, good-natured man. Is it not
309
+ possible that his wife is a lunatic, that he desires to keep the
310
+ matter quiet for fear she should be taken to an asylum, and that
311
+ he humours her fancies in every way in order to prevent an
312
+ outbreak?"</p>
313
+ <p>"That is a possible solution—in fact, as matters stand, it is
314
+ the most probable one. But in any case it does not seem to be a
315
+ nice household for a young lady."</p>
316
+ <p>"But the money, Mr. Holmes, the money!"</p>
317
+ <p>"Well, yes, of course the pay is good—too good. That is what
318
+ makes me uneasy. Why should they give you 120 pounds a year, when
319
+ they could have their pick for 40 pounds? There must be some
320
+ strong reason behind."</p>
321
+ <p>"I thought that if I told you the circumstances you would
322
+ understand afterwards if I wanted your help. I should feel so
323
+ much stronger if I felt that you were at the back of me."</p>
324
+ <p>"Oh, you may carry that feeling away with you. I assure you that
325
+ your little problem promises to be the most interesting which has
326
+ come my way for some months. There is something distinctly novel
327
+ about some of the features. If you should find yourself in doubt
328
+ or in danger--"</p>
329
+ <p>"Danger! What danger do you foresee?"</p>
330
+ <p>Holmes shook his head gravely. "It would cease to be a danger if
331
+ we could define it," said he. "But at any time, day or night, a
332
+ telegram would bring me down to your help."</p>
333
+ <p>"That is enough." She rose briskly from her chair with the
334
+ anxiety all swept from her face. "I shall go down to Hampshire
335
+ quite easy in my mind now. I shall write to Mr. Rucastle at once,
336
+ sacrifice my poor hair to-night, and start for Winchester
337
+ to-morrow." With a few grateful words to Holmes she bade us both
338
+ good-night and bustled off upon her way.</p>
339
+ <p>"At least," said I as we heard her quick, firm steps descending
340
+ the stairs, "she seems to be a young lady who is very well able
341
+ to take care of herself."</p>
342
+ <p>"And she would need to be," said Holmes gravely. "I am much
343
+ mistaken if we do not hear from her before many days are past."</p>
344
+ <p>It was not very long before my friend’s prediction was fulfilled.
345
+ A fortnight went by, during which I frequently found my thoughts
346
+ turning in her direction and wondering what strange side-alley of
347
+ human experience this lonely woman had strayed into. The unusual
348
+ salary, the curious conditions, the light duties, all pointed to
349
+ something abnormal, though whether a fad or a plot, or whether
350
+ the man were a philanthropist or a villain, it was quite beyond
351
+ my powers to determine. As to Holmes, I observed that he sat
352
+ frequently for half an hour on end, with knitted brows and an
353
+ abstracted air, but he swept the matter away with a wave of his
354
+ hand when I mentioned it. "Data! data! data!" he cried
355
+ impatiently. "I can’t make bricks without clay." And yet he would
356
+ always wind up by muttering that no sister of his should ever
357
+ have accepted such a situation.</p>
358
+ <p>The telegram which we eventually received came late one night
359
+ just as I was thinking of turning in and Holmes was settling down
360
+ to one of those all-night chemical researches which he frequently
361
+ indulged in, when I would leave him stooping over a retort and a
362
+ test-tube at night and find him in the same position when I came
363
+ down to breakfast in the morning. He opened the yellow envelope,
364
+ and then, glancing at the message, threw it across to me.</p>
365
+ <p>"Just look up the trains in Bradshaw," said he, and turned back
366
+ to his chemical studies.</p>
367
+ <p>The summons was a brief and urgent one.</p>
368
+ <p>"Please be at the Black Swan Hotel at Winchester at midday
369
+ to-morrow," it said. "Do come! I am at my wit’s end. HUNTER."</p>
370
+ <p>"Will you come with me?" asked Holmes, glancing up.</p>
371
+ <p>"I should wish to."</p>
372
+ <p>"Just look it up, then."</p>
373
+ <p>"There is a train at half-past nine," said I, glancing over my
374
+ Bradshaw. "It is due at Winchester at 11:30."</p>
375
+ <p>"That will do very nicely. Then perhaps I had better postpone my
376
+ analysis of the acetones, as we may need to be at our best in the
377
+ morning."</p>
378
+ <p>By eleven o’clock the next day we were well upon our way to the
379
+ old English capital. Holmes had been buried in the morning papers
380
+ all the way down, but after we had passed the Hampshire border he
381
+ threw them down and began to admire the scenery. It was an ideal
382
+ spring day, a light blue sky, flecked with little fleecy white
383
+ clouds drifting across from west to east. The sun was shining
384
+ very brightly, and yet there was an exhilarating nip in the air,
385
+ which set an edge to a man’s energy. All over the countryside,
386
+ away to the rolling hills around Aldershot, the little red and
387
+ grey roofs of the farm-steadings peeped out from amid the light
388
+ green of the new foliage.</p>
389
+ <p>"Are they not fresh and beautiful?" I cried with all the
390
+ enthusiasm of a man fresh from the fogs of Baker Street.</p>
391
+ <p>But Holmes shook his head gravely.</p>
392
+ <p>"Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of
393
+ a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with
394
+ reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered
395
+ houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them,
396
+ and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their
397
+ isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed
398
+ there."</p>
399
+ <p>"Good heavens!" I cried. "Who would associate crime with these
400
+ dear old homesteads?"</p>
401
+ <p>"They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief,
402
+ Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest
403
+ alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin
404
+ than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."</p>
405
+ <p>"You horrify me!"</p>
406
+ <p>"But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion
407
+ can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no
408
+ lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of
409
+ a drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among
410
+ the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever
411
+ so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is
412
+ but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these
413
+ lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part
414
+ with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the
415
+ deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on,
416
+ year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser. Had this
417
+ lady who appeals to us for help gone to live in Winchester, I
418
+ should never have had a fear for her. It is the five miles of
419
+ country which makes the danger. Still, it is clear that she is
420
+ not personally threatened."</p>
421
+ <p>"No. If she can come to Winchester to meet us she can get away."</p>
422
+ <p>"Quite so. She has her freedom."</p>
423
+ <p>"What CAN be the matter, then? Can you suggest no explanation?"</p>
424
+ <p>"I have devised seven separate explanations, each of which would
425
+ cover the facts as far as we know them. But which of these is
426
+ correct can only be determined by the fresh information which we
427
+ shall no doubt find waiting for us. Well, there is the tower of
428
+ the cathedral, and we shall soon learn all that Miss Hunter has
429
+ to tell."</p>
430
+ <p>The Black Swan is an inn of repute in the High Street, at no
431
+ distance from the station, and there we found the young lady
432
+ waiting for us. She had engaged a sitting-room, and our lunch
433
+ awaited us upon the table.</p>
434
+ <p>"I am so delighted that you have come," she said earnestly. "It
435
+ is so very kind of you both; but indeed I do not know what I
436
+ should do. Your advice will be altogether invaluable to me."</p>
437
+ <p>"Pray tell us what has happened to you."</p>
438
+ <p>"I will do so, and I must be quick, for I have promised Mr.
439
+ Rucastle to be back before three. I got his leave to come into
440
+ town this morning, though he little knew for what purpose."</p>
441
+ <p>"Let us have everything in its due order." Holmes thrust his long
442
+ thin legs out towards the fire and composed himself to listen.</p>
443
+ <p>"In the first place, I may say that I have met, on the whole,
444
+ with no actual ill-treatment from Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle. It is
445
+ only fair to them to say that. But I cannot understand them, and
446
+ I am not easy in my mind about them."</p>
447
+ <p>"What can you not understand?"</p>
448
+ <p>"Their reasons for their conduct. But you shall have it all just
449
+ as it occurred. When I came down, Mr. Rucastle met me here and
450
+ drove me in his dog-cart to the Copper Beeches. It is, as he
451
+ said, beautifully situated, but it is not beautiful in itself,
452
+ for it is a large square block of a house, whitewashed, but all
453
+ stained and streaked with damp and bad weather. There are grounds
454
+ round it, woods on three sides, and on the fourth a field which
455
+ slopes down to the Southampton highroad, which curves past about
456
+ a hundred yards from the front door. This ground in front belongs
457
+ to the house, but the woods all round are part of Lord
458
+ Southerton’s preserves. A clump of copper beeches immediately in
459
+ front of the hall door has given its name to the place.</p>
460
+ <p>"I was driven over by my employer, who was as amiable as ever,
461
+ and was introduced by him that evening to his wife and the child.
462
+ There was no truth, Mr. Holmes, in the conjecture which seemed to
463
+ us to be probable in your rooms at Baker Street. Mrs. Rucastle is
464
+ not mad. I found her to be a silent, pale-faced woman, much
465
+ younger than her husband, not more than thirty, I should think,
466
+ while he can hardly be less than forty-five. From their
467
+ conversation I have gathered that they have been married about
468
+ seven years, that he was a widower, and that his only child by
469
+ the first wife was the daughter who has gone to Philadelphia. Mr.
470
+ Rucastle told me in private that the reason why she had left them
471
+ was that she had an unreasoning aversion to her stepmother. As
472
+ the daughter could not have been less than twenty, I can quite
473
+ imagine that her position must have been uncomfortable with her
474
+ father’s young wife.</p>
475
+ <p>"Mrs. Rucastle seemed to me to be colourless in mind as well as
476
+ in feature. She impressed me neither favourably nor the reverse.
477
+ She was a nonentity. It was easy to see that she was passionately
478
+ devoted both to her husband and to her little son. Her light grey
479
+ eyes wandered continually from one to the other, noting every
480
+ little want and forestalling it if possible. He was kind to her
481
+ also in his bluff, boisterous fashion, and on the whole they
482
+ seemed to be a happy couple. And yet she had some secret sorrow,
483
+ this woman. She would often be lost in deep thought, with the
484
+ saddest look upon her face. More than once I have surprised her
485
+ in tears. I have thought sometimes that it was the disposition of
486
+ her child which weighed upon her mind, for I have never met so
487
+ utterly spoiled and so ill-natured a little creature. He is small
488
+ for his age, with a head which is quite disproportionately large.
489
+ His whole life appears to be spent in an alternation between
490
+ savage fits of passion and gloomy intervals of sulking. Giving
491
+ pain to any creature weaker than himself seems to be his one idea
492
+ of amusement, and he shows quite remarkable talent in planning
493
+ the capture of mice, little birds, and insects. But I would
494
+ rather not talk about the creature, Mr. Holmes, and, indeed, he
495
+ has little to do with my story."</p>
496
+ <p>"I am glad of all details," remarked my friend, "whether they
497
+ seem to you to be relevant or not."</p>
498
+ <p>"I shall try not to miss anything of importance. The one
499
+ unpleasant thing about the house, which struck me at once, was
500
+ the appearance and conduct of the servants. There are only two, a
501
+ man and his wife. Toller, for that is his name, is a rough,
502
+ uncouth man, with grizzled hair and whiskers, and a perpetual
503
+ smell of drink. Twice since I have been with them he has been
504
+ quite drunk, and yet Mr. Rucastle seemed to take no notice of it.
505
+ His wife is a very tall and strong woman with a sour face, as
506
+ silent as Mrs. Rucastle and much less amiable. They are a most
507
+ unpleasant couple, but fortunately I spend most of my time in the
508
+ nursery and my own room, which are next to each other in one
509
+ corner of the building.</p>
510
+ <p>"For two days after my arrival at the Copper Beeches my life was
511
+ very quiet; on the third, Mrs. Rucastle came down just after
512
+ breakfast and whispered something to her husband.</p>
513
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Oh, yes,</em></span> said he, turning to me, <span class="emphasis"><em>we are very much obliged to
514
+ you, Miss Hunter, for falling in with our whims so far as to cut
515
+ your hair. I assure you that it has not detracted in the tiniest
516
+ iota from your appearance. We shall now see how the electric-blue
517
+ dress will become you. You will find it laid out upon the bed in
518
+ your room, and if you would be so good as to put it on we should
519
+ both be extremely obliged.</em></span></p>
520
+ <p>"The dress which I found waiting for me was of a peculiar shade
521
+ of blue. It was of excellent material, a sort of beige, but it
522
+ bore unmistakable signs of having been worn before. It could not
523
+ have been a better fit if I had been measured for it. Both Mr.
524
+ and Mrs. Rucastle expressed a delight at the look of it, which
525
+ seemed quite exaggerated in its vehemence. They were waiting for
526
+ me in the drawing-room, which is a very large room, stretching
527
+ along the entire front of the house, with three long windows
528
+ reaching down to the floor. A chair had been placed close to the
529
+ central window, with its back turned towards it. In this I was
530
+ asked to sit, and then Mr. Rucastle, walking up and down on the
531
+ other side of the room, began to tell me a series of the funniest
532
+ stories that I have ever listened to. You cannot imagine how
533
+ comical he was, and I laughed until I was quite weary. Mrs.
534
+ Rucastle, however, who has evidently no sense of humour, never so
535
+ much as smiled, but sat with her hands in her lap, and a sad,
536
+ anxious look upon her face. After an hour or so, Mr. Rucastle
537
+ suddenly remarked that it was time to commence the duties of the
538
+ day, and that I might change my dress and go to little Edward in
539
+ the nursery.</p>
540
+ <p>"Two days later this same performance was gone through under
541
+ exactly similar circumstances. Again I changed my dress, again I
542
+ sat in the window, and again I laughed very heartily at the funny
543
+ stories of which my employer had an immense répertoire, and which
544
+ he told inimitably. Then he handed me a yellow-backed novel, and
545
+ moving my chair a little sideways, that my own shadow might not
546
+ fall upon the page, he begged me to read aloud to him. I read for
547
+ about ten minutes, beginning in the heart of a chapter, and then
548
+ suddenly, in the middle of a sentence, he ordered me to cease and
549
+ to change my dress.</p>
550
+ <p>"You can easily imagine, Mr. Holmes, how curious I became as to
551
+ what the meaning of this extraordinary performance could possibly
552
+ be. They were always very careful, I observed, to turn my face
553
+ away from the window, so that I became consumed with the desire
554
+ to see what was going on behind my back. At first it seemed to be
555
+ impossible, but I soon devised a means. My hand-mirror had been
556
+ broken, so a happy thought seized me, and I concealed a piece of
557
+ the glass in my handkerchief. On the next occasion, in the midst
558
+ of my laughter, I put my handkerchief up to my eyes, and was able
559
+ with a little management to see all that there was behind me. I
560
+ confess that I was disappointed. There was nothing. At least that
561
+ was my first impression. At the second glance, however, I
562
+ perceived that there was a man standing in the Southampton Road,
563
+ a small bearded man in a grey suit, who seemed to be looking in
564
+ my direction. The road is an important highway, and there are
565
+ usually people there. This man, however, was leaning against the
566
+ railings which bordered our field and was looking earnestly up. I
567
+ lowered my handkerchief and glanced at Mrs. Rucastle to find her
568
+ eyes fixed upon me with a most searching gaze. She said nothing,
569
+ but I am convinced that she had divined that I had a mirror in my
570
+ hand and had seen what was behind me. She rose at once.</p>
571
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Jephro,</em></span> said she, <span class="emphasis"><em>there is an impertinent fellow upon the
572
+ road there who stares up at Miss Hunter.</em></span></p>
573
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No friend of yours, Miss Hunter?</em></span> he asked.</p>
574
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No, I know no one in these parts.</em></span></p>
575
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Dear me! How very impertinent! Kindly turn round and motion to
576
+ him to go away.</em></span></p>
577
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Surely it would be better to take no notice.</em></span></p>
578
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>No, no, we should have him loitering here always. Kindly turn
579
+ round and wave him away like that.</em></span></p>
580
+ <p>"I did as I was told, and at the same instant Mrs. Rucastle drew
581
+ down the blind. That was a week ago, and from that time I have
582
+ not sat again in the window, nor have I worn the blue dress, nor
583
+ seen the man in the road."</p>
584
+ <p>"Pray continue," said Holmes. "Your narrative promises to be a
585
+ most interesting one."</p>
586
+ <p>"You will find it rather disconnected, I fear, and there may
587
+ prove to be little relation between the different incidents of
588
+ which I speak. On the very first day that I was at the Copper
589
+ Beeches, Mr. Rucastle took me to a small outhouse which stands
590
+ near the kitchen door. As we approached it I heard the sharp
591
+ rattling of a chain, and the sound as of a large animal moving
592
+ about.</p>
593
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Look in here!</em></span> said Mr. Rucastle, showing me a slit between two
594
+ planks. <span class="emphasis"><em>Is he not a beauty?</em></span></p>
595
+ <p>"I looked through and was conscious of two glowing eyes, and of a
596
+ vague figure huddled up in the darkness.</p>
597
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Don’t be frightened,</em></span> said my employer, laughing at the start
598
+ which I had given. <span class="emphasis"><em>It’s only Carlo, my mastiff. I call him mine,
599
+ but really old Toller, my groom, is the only man who can do
600
+ anything with him. We feed him once a day, and not too much then,
601
+ so that he is always as keen as mustard. Toller lets him loose
602
+ every night, and God help the trespasser whom he lays his fangs
603
+ upon. For goodness</em></span> sake don’t you ever on any pretext set your
604
+ foot over the threshold at night, for it’s as much as your life
605
+ is worth.'</p>
606
+ <p>"The warning was no idle one, for two nights later I happened to
607
+ look out of my bedroom window about two o’clock in the morning.
608
+ It was a beautiful moonlight night, and the lawn in front of the
609
+ house was silvered over and almost as bright as day. I was
610
+ standing, rapt in the peaceful beauty of the scene, when I was
611
+ aware that something was moving under the shadow of the copper
612
+ beeches. As it emerged into the moonshine I saw what it was. It
613
+ was a giant dog, as large as a calf, tawny tinted, with hanging
614
+ jowl, black muzzle, and huge projecting bones. It walked slowly
615
+ across the lawn and vanished into the shadow upon the other side.
616
+ That dreadful sentinel sent a chill to my heart which I do not
617
+ think that any burglar could have done.</p>
618
+ <p>"And now I have a very strange experience to tell you. I had, as
619
+ you know, cut off my hair in London, and I had placed it in a
620
+ great coil at the bottom of my trunk. One evening, after the
621
+ child was in bed, I began to amuse myself by examining the
622
+ furniture of my room and by rearranging my own little things.
623
+ There was an old chest of drawers in the room, the two upper ones
624
+ empty and open, the lower one locked. I had filled the first two
625
+ with my linen, and as I had still much to pack away I was
626
+ naturally annoyed at not having the use of the third drawer. It
627
+ struck me that it might have been fastened by a mere oversight,
628
+ so I took out my bunch of keys and tried to open it. The very
629
+ first key fitted to perfection, and I drew the drawer open. There
630
+ was only one thing in it, but I am sure that you would never
631
+ guess what it was. It was my coil of hair.</p>
632
+ <p>"I took it up and examined it. It was of the same peculiar tint,
633
+ and the same thickness. But then the impossibility of the thing
634
+ obtruded itself upon me. How could my hair have been locked in
635
+ the drawer? With trembling hands I undid my trunk, turned out the
636
+ contents, and drew from the bottom my own hair. I laid the two
637
+ tresses together, and I assure you that they were identical. Was
638
+ it not extraordinary? Puzzle as I would, I could make nothing at
639
+ all of what it meant. I returned the strange hair to the drawer,
640
+ and I said nothing of the matter to the Rucastles as I felt that
641
+ I had put myself in the wrong by opening a drawer which they had
642
+ locked.</p>
643
+ <p>"I am naturally observant, as you may have remarked, Mr. Holmes,
644
+ and I soon had a pretty good plan of the whole house in my head.
645
+ There was one wing, however, which appeared not to be inhabited
646
+ at all. A door which faced that which led into the quarters of
647
+ the Tollers opened into this suite, but it was invariably locked.
648
+ One day, however, as I ascended the stair, I met Mr. Rucastle
649
+ coming out through this door, his keys in his hand, and a look on
650
+ his face which made him a very different person to the round,
651
+ jovial man to whom I was accustomed. His cheeks were red, his
652
+ brow was all crinkled with anger, and the veins stood out at his
653
+ temples with passion. He locked the door and hurried past me
654
+ without a word or a look.</p>
655
+ <p>"This aroused my curiosity, so when I went out for a walk in the
656
+ grounds with my charge, I strolled round to the side from which I
657
+ could see the windows of this part of the house. There were four
658
+ of them in a row, three of which were simply dirty, while the
659
+ fourth was shuttered up. They were evidently all deserted. As I
660
+ strolled up and down, glancing at them occasionally, Mr. Rucastle
661
+ came out to me, looking as merry and jovial as ever.</p>
662
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Ah!</em></span> said he, <span class="emphasis"><em>you must not think me rude if I passed you
663
+ without a word, my dear young lady. I was preoccupied with
664
+ business matters.</em></span></p>
665
+ <p>"I assured him that I was not offended. <span class="emphasis"><em>By the way,</em></span> said I,
666
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>you seem to have quite a suite of spare rooms up there, and one
667
+ of them has the shutters up.</em></span></p>
668
+ <p>"He looked surprised and, as it seemed to me, a little startled
669
+ at my remark.</p>
670
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Photography is one of my hobbies,</em></span> said he. <span class="emphasis"><em>I have made my
671
+ dark room up there. But, dear me! what an observant young lady we
672
+ have come upon. Who would have believed it? Who would have ever
673
+ believed it?</em></span> He spoke in a jesting tone, but there was no jest
674
+ in his eyes as he looked at me. I read suspicion there and
675
+ annoyance, but no jest.</p>
676
+ <p>"Well, Mr. Holmes, from the moment that I understood that there
677
+ was something about that suite of rooms which I was not to know,
678
+ I was all on fire to go over them. It was not mere curiosity,
679
+ though I have my share of that. It was more a feeling of duty—a
680
+ feeling that some good might come from my penetrating to this
681
+ place. They talk of woman’s instinct; perhaps it was woman’s
682
+ instinct which gave me that feeling. At any rate, it was there,
683
+ and I was keenly on the lookout for any chance to pass the
684
+ forbidden door.</p>
685
+ <p>"It was only yesterday that the chance came. I may tell you that,
686
+ besides Mr. Rucastle, both Toller and his wife find something to
687
+ do in these deserted rooms, and I once saw him carrying a large
688
+ black linen bag with him through the door. Recently he has been
689
+ drinking hard, and yesterday evening he was very drunk; and when
690
+ I came upstairs there was the key in the door. I have no doubt at
691
+ all that he had left it there. Mr. and Mrs. Rucastle were both
692
+ downstairs, and the child was with them, so that I had an
693
+ admirable opportunity. I turned the key gently in the lock,
694
+ opened the door, and slipped through.</p>
695
+ <p>"There was a little passage in front of me, unpapered and
696
+ uncarpeted, which turned at a right angle at the farther end.
697
+ Round this corner were three doors in a line, the first and third
698
+ of which were open. They each led into an empty room, dusty and
699
+ cheerless, with two windows in the one and one in the other, so
700
+ thick with dirt that the evening light glimmered dimly through
701
+ them. The centre door was closed, and across the outside of it
702
+ had been fastened one of the broad bars of an iron bed, padlocked
703
+ at one end to a ring in the wall, and fastened at the other with
704
+ stout cord. The door itself was locked as well, and the key was
705
+ not there. This barricaded door corresponded clearly with the
706
+ shuttered window outside, and yet I could see by the glimmer from
707
+ beneath it that the room was not in darkness. Evidently there was
708
+ a skylight which let in light from above. As I stood in the
709
+ passage gazing at the sinister door and wondering what secret it
710
+ might veil, I suddenly heard the sound of steps within the room
711
+ and saw a shadow pass backward and forward against the little
712
+ slit of dim light which shone out from under the door. A mad,
713
+ unreasoning terror rose up in me at the sight, Mr. Holmes. My
714
+ overstrung nerves failed me suddenly, and I turned and ran—ran
715
+ as though some dreadful hand were behind me clutching at the
716
+ skirt of my dress. I rushed down the passage, through the door,
717
+ and straight into the arms of Mr. Rucastle, who was waiting
718
+ outside.</p>
719
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>So,</em></span> said he, smiling, <span class="emphasis"><em>it was you, then. I thought that it
720
+ must be when I saw the door open.</em></span></p>
721
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Oh, I am so frightened!</em></span> I panted.</p>
722
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>My dear young lady! my dear young lady!</em></span>--you cannot think how
723
+ caressing and soothing his manner was--<span class="emphasis"><em>and what has frightened
724
+ you, my dear young lady?</em></span></p>
725
+ <p>"But his voice was just a little too coaxing. He overdid it. I
726
+ was keenly on my guard against him.</p>
727
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I was foolish enough to go into the empty wing,</em></span> I answered.
728
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>But it is so lonely and eerie in this dim light that I was
729
+ frightened and ran out again. Oh, it is so dreadfully still in
730
+ there!</em></span></p>
731
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Only that?</em></span> said he, looking at me keenly.</p>
732
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Why, what did you think?</em></span> I asked.</p>
733
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Why do you think that I lock this door?</em></span></p>
734
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I am sure that I do not know.</em></span></p>
735
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>It is to keep people out who have no business there. Do you
736
+ see?</em></span> He was still smiling in the most amiable manner.</p>
737
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>I am sure if I had known--</em></span></p>
738
+ <p>"<span class="emphasis"><em>Well, then, you know now. And if you ever put your foot over
739
+ that threshold again</em></span>--here in an instant the smile hardened into
740
+ a grin of rage, and he glared down at me with the face of a
741
+ demon--<span class="emphasis"><em>I’ll throw you to the mastiff.</em></span></p>
742
+ <p>"I was so terrified that I do not know what I did. I suppose that
743
+ I must have rushed past him into my room. I remember nothing
744
+ until I found myself lying on my bed trembling all over. Then I
745
+ thought of you, Mr. Holmes. I could not live there longer without
746
+ some advice. I was frightened of the house, of the man, of the
747
+ woman, of the servants, even of the child. They were all horrible
748
+ to me. If I could only bring you down all would be well. Of
749
+ course I might have fled from the house, but my curiosity was
750
+ almost as strong as my fears. My mind was soon made up. I would
751
+ send you a wire. I put on my hat and cloak, went down to the
752
+ office, which is about half a mile from the house, and then
753
+ returned, feeling very much easier. A horrible doubt came into my
754
+ mind as I approached the door lest the dog might be loose, but I
755
+ remembered that Toller had drunk himself into a state of
756
+ insensibility that evening, and I knew that he was the only one
757
+ in the household who had any influence with the savage creature,
758
+ or who would venture to set him free. I slipped in in safety and
759
+ lay awake half the night in my joy at the thought of seeing you.
760
+ I had no difficulty in getting leave to come into Winchester this
761
+ morning, but I must be back before three o’clock, for Mr. and
762
+ Mrs. Rucastle are going on a visit, and will be away all the
763
+ evening, so that I must look after the child. Now I have told you
764
+ all my adventures, Mr. Holmes, and I should be very glad if you
765
+ could tell me what it all means, and, above all, what I should
766
+ do."</p>
767
+ <p>Holmes and I had listened spellbound to this extraordinary story.
768
+ My friend rose now and paced up and down the room, his hands in
769
+ his pockets, and an expression of the most profound gravity upon
770
+ his face.</p>
771
+ <p>"Is Toller still drunk?" he asked.</p>
772
+ <p>"Yes. I heard his wife tell Mrs. Rucastle that she could do
773
+ nothing with him."</p>
774
+ <p>"That is well. And the Rucastles go out to-night?"</p>
775
+ <p>"Yes."</p>
776
+ <p>"Is there a cellar with a good strong lock?"</p>
777
+ <p>"Yes, the wine-cellar."</p>
778
+ <p>"You seem to me to have acted all through this matter like a very
779
+ brave and sensible girl, Miss Hunter. Do you think that you could
780
+ perform one more feat? I should not ask it of you if I did not
781
+ think you a quite exceptional woman."</p>
782
+ <p>"I will try. What is it?"</p>
783
+ <p>"We shall be at the Copper Beeches by seven o’clock, my friend
784
+ and I. The Rucastles will be gone by that time, and Toller will,
785
+ we hope, be incapable. There only remains Mrs. Toller, who might
786
+ give the alarm. If you could send her into the cellar on some
787
+ errand, and then turn the key upon her, you would facilitate
788
+ matters immensely."</p>
789
+ <p>"I will do it."</p>
790
+ <p>"Excellent! We shall then look thoroughly into the affair. Of
791
+ course there is only one feasible explanation. You have been
792
+ brought there to personate someone, and the real person is
793
+ imprisoned in this chamber. That is obvious. As to who this
794
+ prisoner is, I have no doubt that it is the daughter, Miss Alice
795
+ Rucastle, if I remember right, who was said to have gone to
796
+ America. You were chosen, doubtless, as resembling her in height,
797
+ figure, and the colour of your hair. Hers had been cut off, very
798
+ possibly in some illness through which she has passed, and so, of
799
+ course, yours had to be sacrificed also. By a curious chance you
800
+ came upon her tresses. The man in the road was undoubtedly some
801
+ friend of hers—possibly her fiancé--and no doubt, as you wore
802
+ the girl’s dress and were so like her, he was convinced from your
803
+ laughter, whenever he saw you, and afterwards from your gesture,
804
+ that Miss Rucastle was perfectly happy, and that she no longer
805
+ desired his attentions. The dog is let loose at night to prevent
806
+ him from endeavouring to communicate with her. So much is fairly
807
+ clear. The most serious point in the case is the disposition of
808
+ the child."</p>
809
+ <p>"What on earth has that to do with it?" I ejaculated.</p>
810
+ <p>"My dear Watson, you as a medical man are continually gaining
811
+ light as to the tendencies of a child by the study of the
812
+ parents. Don’t you see that the converse is equally valid. I have
813
+ frequently gained my first real insight into the character of
814
+ parents by studying their children. This child’s disposition is
815
+ abnormally cruel, merely for cruelty’s sake, and whether he
816
+ derives this from his smiling father, as I should suspect, or
817
+ from his mother, it bodes evil for the poor girl who is in their
818
+ power."</p>
819
+ <p>"I am sure that you are right, Mr. Holmes," cried our client. "A
820
+ thousand things come back to me which make me certain that you
821
+ have hit it. Oh, let us lose not an instant in bringing help to
822
+ this poor creature."</p>
823
+ <p>"We must be circumspect, for we are dealing with a very cunning
824
+ man. We can do nothing until seven o’clock. At that hour we shall
825
+ be with you, and it will not be long before we solve the
826
+ mystery."</p>
827
+ <p>We were as good as our word, for it was just seven when we
828
+ reached the Copper Beeches, having put up our trap at a wayside
829
+ public-house. The group of trees, with their dark leaves shining
830
+ like burnished metal in the light of the setting sun, were
831
+ sufficient to mark the house even had Miss Hunter not been
832
+ standing smiling on the door-step.</p>
833
+ <p>"Have you managed it?" asked Holmes.</p>
834
+ <p>A loud thudding noise came from somewhere downstairs. "That is
835
+ Mrs. Toller in the cellar," said she. "Her husband lies snoring
836
+ on the kitchen rug. Here are his keys, which are the duplicates
837
+ of Mr. Rucastle’s."</p>
838
+ <p>"You have done well indeed!" cried Holmes with enthusiasm. "Now
839
+ lead the way, and we shall soon see the end of this black
840
+ business."</p>
841
+ <p>We passed up the stair, unlocked the door, followed on down a
842
+ passage, and found ourselves in front of the barricade which Miss
843
+ Hunter had described. Holmes cut the cord and removed the
844
+ transverse bar. Then he tried the various keys in the lock, but
845
+ without success. No sound came from within, and at the silence
846
+ Holmes' face clouded over.</p>
847
+ <p>"I trust that we are not too late," said he. "I think, Miss
848
+ Hunter, that we had better go in without you. Now, Watson, put
849
+ your shoulder to it, and we shall see whether we cannot make our
850
+ way in."</p>
851
+ <p>It was an old rickety door and gave at once before our united
852
+ strength. Together we rushed into the room. It was empty. There
853
+ was no furniture save a little pallet bed, a small table, and a
854
+ basketful of linen. The skylight above was open, and the prisoner
855
+ gone.</p>
856
+ <p>"There has been some villainy here," said Holmes; "this beauty
857
+ has guessed Miss Hunter’s intentions and has carried his victim
858
+ off."</p>
859
+ <p>"But how?"</p>
860
+ <p>"Through the skylight. We shall soon see how he managed it." He
861
+ swung himself up onto the roof. "Ah, yes," he cried, "here’s the
862
+ end of a long light ladder against the eaves. That is how he did
863
+ it."</p>
864
+ <p>"But it is impossible," said Miss Hunter; "the ladder was not
865
+ there when the Rucastles went away."</p>
866
+ <p>"He has come back and done it. I tell you that he is a clever and
867
+ dangerous man. I should not be very much surprised if this were
868
+ he whose step I hear now upon the stair. I think, Watson, that it
869
+ would be as well for you to have your pistol ready."</p>
870
+ <p>The words were hardly out of his mouth before a man appeared at
871
+ the door of the room, a very fat and burly man, with a heavy
872
+ stick in his hand. Miss Hunter screamed and shrunk against the
873
+ wall at the sight of him, but Sherlock Holmes sprang forward and
874
+ confronted him.</p>
875
+ <p>"You villain!" said he, "where’s your daughter?"</p>
876
+ <p>The fat man cast his eyes round, and then up at the open
877
+ skylight.</p>
878
+ <p>"It is for me to ask you that," he shrieked, "you thieves! Spies
879
+ and thieves! I have caught you, have I? You are in my power. I’ll
880
+ serve you!" He turned and clattered down the stairs as hard as he
881
+ could go.</p>
882
+ <p>"He’s gone for the dog!" cried Miss Hunter.</p>
883
+ <p>"I have my revolver," said I.</p>
884
+ <p>"Better close the front door," cried Holmes, and we all rushed
885
+ down the stairs together. We had hardly reached the hall when we
886
+ heard the baying of a hound, and then a scream of agony, with a
887
+ horrible worrying sound which it was dreadful to listen to. An
888
+ elderly man with a red face and shaking limbs came staggering out
889
+ at a side door.</p>
890
+ <p>"My God!" he cried. "Someone has loosed the dog. It’s not been
891
+ fed for two days. Quick, quick, or it’ll be too late!"</p>
892
+ <p>Holmes and I rushed out and round the angle of the house, with
893
+ Toller hurrying behind us. There was the huge famished brute, its
894
+ black muzzle buried in Rucastle’s throat, while he writhed and
895
+ screamed upon the ground. Running up, I blew its brains out, and
896
+ it fell over with its keen white teeth still meeting in the great
897
+ creases of his neck. With much labour we separated them and
898
+ carried him, living but horribly mangled, into the house. We laid
899
+ him upon the drawing-room sofa, and having dispatched the sobered
900
+ Toller to bear the news to his wife, I did what I could to
901
+ relieve his pain. We were all assembled round him when the door
902
+ opened, and a tall, gaunt woman entered the room.</p>
903
+ <p>"Mrs. Toller!" cried Miss Hunter.</p>
904
+ <p>"Yes, miss. Mr. Rucastle let me out when he came back before he
905
+ went up to you. Ah, miss, it is a pity you didn’t let me know
906
+ what you were planning, for I would have told you that your pains
907
+ were wasted."</p>
908
+ <p>"Ha!" said Holmes, looking keenly at her. "It is clear that Mrs.
909
+ Toller knows more about this matter than anyone else."</p>
910
+ <p>"Yes, sir, I do, and I am ready enough to tell what I know."</p>
911
+ <p>"Then, pray, sit down, and let us hear it for there are several
912
+ points on which I must confess that I am still in the dark."</p>
913
+ <p>"I will soon make it clear to you," said she; "and I’d have done
914
+ so before now if I could ha' got out from the cellar. If there’s
915
+ police-court business over this, you’ll remember that I was the
916
+ one that stood your friend, and that I was Miss Alice’s friend
917
+ too.</p>
918
+ <p>"She was never happy at home, Miss Alice wasn’t, from the time
919
+ that her father married again. She was slighted like and had no
920
+ say in anything, but it never really became bad for her until
921
+ after she met Mr. Fowler at a friend’s house. As well as I could
922
+ learn, Miss Alice had rights of her own by will, but she was so
923
+ quiet and patient, she was, that she never said a word about them
924
+ but just left everything in Mr. Rucastle’s hands. He knew he was
925
+ safe with her; but when there was a chance of a husband coming
926
+ forward, who would ask for all that the law would give him, then
927
+ her father thought it time to put a stop on it. He wanted her to
928
+ sign a paper, so that whether she married or not, he could use
929
+ her money. When she wouldn’t do it, he kept on worrying her until
930
+ she got brain-fever, and for six weeks was at death’s door. Then
931
+ she got better at last, all worn to a shadow, and with her
932
+ beautiful hair cut off; but that didn’t make no change in her
933
+ young man, and he stuck to her as true as man could be."</p>
934
+ <p>"Ah," said Holmes, "I think that what you have been good enough
935
+ to tell us makes the matter fairly clear, and that I can deduce
936
+ all that remains. Mr. Rucastle then, I presume, took to this
937
+ system of imprisonment?"</p>
938
+ <p>"Yes, sir."</p>
939
+ <p>"And brought Miss Hunter down from London in order to get rid of
940
+ the disagreeable persistence of Mr. Fowler."</p>
941
+ <p>"That was it, sir."</p>
942
+ <p>"But Mr. Fowler being a persevering man, as a good seaman should
943
+ be, blockaded the house, and having met you succeeded by certain
944
+ arguments, metallic or otherwise, in convincing you that your
945
+ interests were the same as his."</p>
946
+ <p>"Mr. Fowler was a very kind-spoken, free-handed gentleman," said
947
+ Mrs. Toller serenely.</p>
948
+ <p>"And in this way he managed that your good man should have no
949
+ want of drink, and that a ladder should be ready at the moment
950
+ when your master had gone out."</p>
951
+ <p>"You have it, sir, just as it happened."</p>
952
+ <p>"I am sure we owe you an apology, Mrs. Toller," said Holmes, "for
953
+ you have certainly cleared up everything which puzzled us. And
954
+ here comes the country surgeon and Mrs. Rucastle, so I think,
955
+ Watson, that we had best escort Miss Hunter back to Winchester,
956
+ as it seems to me that our locus standi now is rather a
957
+ questionable one."</p>
958
+ <p>And thus was solved the mystery of the sinister house with the
959
+ copper beeches in front of the door. Mr. Rucastle survived, but
960
+ was always a broken man, kept alive solely through the care of
961
+ his devoted wife. They still live with their old servants, who
962
+ probably know so much of Rucastle’s past life that he finds it
963
+ difficult to part from them. Mr. Fowler and Miss Rucastle were
964
+ married, by special license, in Southampton the day after their
965
+ flight, and he is now the holder of a government appointment in
966
+ the island of Mauritius. As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend
967
+ Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further
968
+ interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one
969
+ of his problems, and she is now the head of a private school at
970
+ Walsall, where I believe that she has met with considerable success.</p>
